Chapter 84 Born with a disease
Fu Yi held Cheng Nianying down and swiped the knife from the King of Liang's hand. The King of Liang offered little resistance, presumably because he didn't think Fu Yi could do anything with the knife.
Fu Yi stroked the hilt of the knife, and with a leisurely chuckle, the blade was placed against King Liang's neck.
"Don't be impulsive, Prince!" Prince Rui shouted again and rushed to the front in three or two steps.
He pressed King Liang's arm with one hand and held Fu Yi's sleeve with the other, as if trying to stop a fight.
Under the eaves, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
The blade was so sharp that King Liang actually felt a slight pain in his neck...
But he didn't know what retreat meant, so he immediately moved forward and said, "I want to see if you can do this. If it's really an open fight, I will..."
He didn't finish his words.
Fu Yi chuckled, raised his knife, and tapped King Liang's neck twice with the back of the knife.
The attitude is disrespectful and extremely insulting.
King Liang was furious and reached out to grab the knife.
Fu Yi had already pulled out the knife, and the tip of the knife pressed against the collar of King Liang's clothes and finally fell to the ground with a "clang".
"I know Your Highness is stubborn, but You are the son of the Emperor, so only the Emperor can punish You." Fu Yi said lightly, and then he pulled up Cheng Nianying's hood again.
"And," he said, "Your Highness waving a knife in front of me is fine, I don't like to argue with others. But teasing someone with a hat is extremely rude."
Prince Rui breathed a sigh of relief and was about to smooth things over.
King Liang couldn't suppress a sneer. "Why pretend to be so tolerant? I know you're probably already plotting how to kill me like you killed the crown prince."
"You are so confident in accusing others, but why do you keep silent when they say you are being rude?" Cheng Nianying interrupted.
She clutched the strap of her hood with one hand while looking up with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Although she had some doubts about Prince Danshuo, she could still distinguish between relatives and strangers.
Moreover, without evidence, there is no reason to accuse someone without reason.
Prince Liang choked, his facial muscles trembling slightly from being too tense.
Seeing this, Prince Rui tried to smooth things over again.
Fu Yi had already pulled Cheng Nianying into his arms and said with a faint smile, "Your Highness, please forgive her for her protective heart."
Prince Liang flicked his sleeves, turned around and said, "The Crown Prince's incident was too sudden. I also think there is something very treacherous about Tianguang Temple. I will not let this matter go and will investigate thoroughly."
"Your Highness, did you come here today just to say this?" Fu Yi said calmly, "I have a clear conscience."
Prince Rui, who had been trying to mediate, finally interrupted, "The Crown Prince has died. Princess Zhaoning is deeply saddened. She can neither sleep nor eat. If you have time, please send someone to express your regards."
"Since you are so heartbroken, you should ask the imperial physician to come and treat you."
Prince Rui was helpless: "The imperial physician can only treat the symptoms, but cannot cure the root cause."
Fu Yi's eyes were slightly cold.
At this time, Cheng Nianying hesitated and said, "Could it be that the prince can bring the prince back to life?"
Prince Rui choked, glanced at her, and then said bluntly: "The prince and Princess Zhaoning have a past friendship. She hopes to hear the prince's greetings more than the imperial physician."
Fu Yi suddenly felt annoyed.
"Your Highness, what you said may be suspected of damaging the princess's reputation."
Prince Liang interrupted: "Well, why bother to say more to him? Prince Danshuo has always been unfeeling..."
The smile on Fu Yi's face was also filled with coldness: "I know, the two princes came to my house today specifically to throw dirty water on me."
Prince Rui's expression faltered slightly, and he whispered to Cheng Nianying, "Prince Liang and I have no other intentions..." He sighed, and then advised Prince Liang, "Brother, let's go."
King Liang responded with a "hmm", without even sitting down or taking a sip of tea, and left in a hurry.
His follower then hurriedly picked up the knife on the ground, smiled awkwardly at everyone, and followed his master's pace.
Wait until you leave the Prince's Mansion.
Prince Liang paused, turned around and told his attendant, "Go to the market and buy a new cloak, and send it to the Prince's Mansion."
Prince Rui was surprised: "Brother, what are you doing..."
Prince Liang said in a deep voice, "I was only going after Fu Yi. Lifting the hood of the Princess was... rude."
Prince Rui sighed, "Brother, please don't be so impulsive in the future."
King Liang did not respond and was about to get on his horse.
"Your Highness Prince Liang!" Someone called out to him.
He turned and saw a eunuch. He had been waiting for who knows how long, then he bowed and said, "Your Majesty summons you."
Prince Liang's face darkened: "Fu Yi... I really can't afford to offend him!"
"Your Highness, please." The eunuch urged again.
How could the King of Liang dare to delay? He could only mount his horse and rush to the palace.
When he arrived at the palace gate, the guards came forward to lead the horse. He was so angry that he suddenly turned over and heard a "hiss" sound... No one, including King Liang himself, reacted.
His clothes were torn.
In the blink of an eye, he was dressed like a beggar.
The people around him were shocked and hurried over to help him: "What happened to your highness?"
"...Fu Yi thief!!!" Prince Liang squeezed out a voice from his throat.
*
As soon as Prince Liang and his two companions left, the Prince's Mansion became deserted and quiet.
Fu Yi is still keeping his eye on Cheng Nianying.
Gradually, he felt his wrists getting sore and his chest getting hot. In short, he felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, Cheng Nianying gently broke free from him.
Fu Yi moved his lips: "I and..."
Cheng Nianying spoke first: "Prince Rui walks very slowly."
Fu Yi swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Prince Rui and Prince Liang kept saying that Princess Zhaoning had some kind of friendship with him, but she didn't take it to heart.
"When the prince put the knife on the neck of Prince Liang, I saw that his posture when he rushed over was a bit strange." Cheng Nianying turned around, stood still, and met Fu Yi's eyes.
She asked, “Why is that?”
The observation is meticulous.
Fu Yi wanted to fool her, but he knew he couldn't.
He said seriously, "Prince Rui was born with a foot disease."
Cheng Nianying's doubts were immediately perfectly explained.
She pulled her cloak tighter around her and said, "Well, I'll go back and lie down."
She left happily.
Fu Yi stood there, motionless, but still a little unhappy.
If a person who is already ill moves slowly due to injury, no one will suspect anything.
So at that time, he asked his princess whether everyone except the crown prince had attended the palace banquet that day. After receiving an affirmative answer, he immediately knew who that person was.
And today, his princess should have the answer.
